Gold is Justice

"You may find it difficult to accept this matter, you may think that I am simply joking, or you may think that I am completely crazy. However, I am here to solemnly inform you that I am not crazy. Moreover, I Recruiting everyone to join the Mermaid Song's army does not mean that I am just wooing you and letting you spend the rest of the day idle."

"What I want to do is to overthrow the entire Blue Bay Empire. There will be no more emperors and nobles in this world. There will be no more children of noble generals who are born nobles in this world." Generals, and no matter how much you risk your life on the battlefield, it is impossible for you to become one of those nobles."

"I also want to make sure that there will be no more things in this world that can enjoy glory and wealth just by relying on status. I want to establish a standard that those who don't work can't eat. If everyone wants to live a good life, then You have to let other people live well before you can qualify to make yourself better."

"You may think that I am a bit too idealistic, and you may think that this world cannot become like this. Or you may think that it has been more than 1000 years since the demon king was sealed, and this world has always been like this, with various emperors occupying the country , the noble lords own the land and command the common people below to fight each other."

"But I want to say that all of this can be changed. Why can't it be changed? Even the Magic Association and the Holy See can betray your emperor for their own interests, and even man-made steel can run faster than those horses Quick, is there any rule in this world that cannot be changed?"

"This dream seems very exaggerated now, but what I want to tell you is that I, Ariel Garcia, have been working hard for this goal. But with my own strength, I will never It is possible to achieve this goal.”

"To achieve this goal, all people need to work together with me. That great new era was not created by me or someone. It is everyone, everyone who is willing to believe in that Dreams are built step by step and down to earth by people who work hard together."

"The common people should be the real masters of that new era. No one, an emperor, or a nobleman can ride on the heads of the common people. The law should be decided by the common people, not according to the needs of the nobles. Food It should be distributed according to the needs of the common people, not how the merchants should decide how to hoard."

"The blade of the weapon should be directed at those who want to destroy the peaceful life of the common people, not towards the common people. All policies should be formulated according to how to make the common people have a better life, not to facilitate a certain Interest groups shall prevail!"

"I want to go to this place full of dreams with you. However, this place full of dreams is not peaceful and beautiful. There will always be people who want to destroy such a beautiful place."

"Because such beauty will make those nobles and lords feel violated, and they can't accept the days when they can't live on the common people, so they will definitely use the most violent attacks to destroy this peace and beauty."

"So, the new era needs a force that can protect this peace and beauty. We need armed forces, an armed force that is strong enough, not to plunder or oppress, but to protect and resist. To protect that beautiful In this era, in order to protect our descendants, no one will become a slave, even if you sacrifice your life, you will not be afraid!"

"For this, I need your participation. This is really what I say from the bottom of my heart."

After saying these words, these soldiers did not immediately show that enthusiastic feeling.

This is actually quite normal, and Ariel didn't feel that she could turn these loyal soldiers who were originally loyal to the empire into rebels on her side just by relying on such a few impassioned words.What's more, these soldiers are not fools. No matter how stupid they are, they should know that the crime of murdering the emperor is now held on the head of the marginal province in all likelihood. Next, the Blue Bay Empire will definitely dispatch huge forces to wipe it out.Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to leave the relatives and friends in Hanhai City alone and stand on the side of the marginal province?

Therefore, after Ariel's voice fell, almost none of the more than 1000 soldiers surrounding her responded.Such a situation seems really embarrassing, and even... it will make people feel a little helpless.

"Hey, what do you all mean?!"

At this time, the sweet wine cheese on the side couldn't help it, and shouted out.

However, before she could yell any more, Ariel immediately reached out her hand to stop her, preventing her from continuing to swear according to her temper.This speech seems to have no possibility of success, but this is for the bystanders present.

For Ariel, being able to express her ambitions in front of so many people and let these soldiers hear her thoughts is already a success.

It is not so easy to change the lineup of an enemy army. If it is enough to just say empty words here, then anyone can say a few empty words for no reason, and then make themselves look like a savior Such a great man.

But in fact, things are not simple at all.If you want these soldiers to really work hard for that great dream, there are still many, many things to do.And the most important thing is to start by treating them seriously.

At the moment, there was no embarrassment on Ariel's face.She stood up, clapped her hands, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's all for me. Of course, I don't force you to choose any of these three roads. You can choose any of the three roads. If you are willing to stay If you want to join the army of the Marginal Province, I welcome it most. If you are willing to stay and work, I am also happy. But if you want to leave, as I said just now, please come and say hello, I will definitely not make things difficult for you You can choose what you want, or you can think about it carefully. I will give you about three months to think about it. By March next year, the snow will basically melt. Those who want to leave can also take advantage of this time to leave gone."

After saying this, Ariel took another deep breath.It seems that this speech is also over.

However, just when everyone present felt that on the night of the Holy Night Festival, the Countess of the Marginal Province made an empty and meaningless speech and was about to leave, Ariel made another speech before leaving. Raising his hands, a slightly sad smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly——

"Also, I admit that Menglang Bilan may be a good emperor. I respect and admire him from the bottom of my heart. However, the better he is, the more I need to resist the imperial rule he represents. But even if I want to Resisting his imperial rule does not mean that I will admit this assassination in a formal statement. I will tell the truth without hesitation, and I will definitely not take the blame for assassinating the emperor."

"Huh... After saying these words, I feel much more relaxed. Then, let's do it! I wish you all a peaceful and peaceful Holy Night Festival."

Now, the countess finally turned around, pulled the cloak on her body a little, then turned and walked outside the camp.

Although Sweet Wine Cheese next to her seemed a little anxious and irritable, she didn't say anything after all, and the other people who followed Song of the Mermaid also left together, leaving only this warm camp with elemental lights shining. The soldiers are silent with each other, slowly, slowly...

Welcoming the arrival of the new year...

——December 1305, 12, Holy Night Festival, the border provinces completely abolished the gold coin value system——

——On January 1306, 1, the marginal province fully implemented the debt-based financial system, fully implemented banknotes instead of coins, and abolished the currency system of the Blue Bay Empire. All the currencies of the Blue Bay Empire were collected uniformly and became the foreign exchange reserve currency of the marginal province. It will no longer be used outside the purpose, and the exchange rate with banknotes is tentatively set at 1:1——

——On January 1306, 1, the amount of foreign exchange reserves in the marginal province last year: 1 gold coins, the foreign trade surplus (import) of the marginal province last year: 128,312 yuan, the foreign trade deficit (export): 183,217 yuan, and the maintenance cost in the province was 221,665 yuan. Internal revenue tax: 75,103 yuan, fiscal deficit: -36,165 yuan, deficit ratio: 490%, debt evaluation: excellent——

In the new year, the sun of the Golden Continent will still rise from the sea in the east.

But in this new year, the cold of winter has not yet dissipated from the Blue Bay Empire.

With the news of the emperor's assassination spreading throughout Hanhai City, this undoubtedly brought a heavier blow to the empire that was already shrouded in dark clouds.

As early as the end of January, the scouts had rushed to report the news to Hanhai City.

And when the soldiers in charge of transporting the coffin finally delivered the rebuilt emperor's coffin to Hanhai City in mid-February, the sky of this bay city seemed to be dimmed because of it.

The entire imperial city was mourning the death of such an emperor. White banners were hung everywhere in the city, and the entertainment industry in the entire city also stopped.For a split second, it seemed that everything came to a standstill at this moment, and there was only grief and sadness left on people's faces, and they could no longer see any other expressions.

But... maybe, this is just the most insignificant thing.

"........."

In the imperial palace of Hanhai City, in the supposedly magnificent conference hall.

Many ministers are standing here now, all of them dressed in plain onyx, making the hall of this city that stands by the sea look even colder all of a sudden.

The position that the ministers are facing is the position of the throne.

At this moment, the throne is empty.

And beside the throne, is the queen whose eyes are swollen from crying, her eyes are red and swollen, and she didn't even have time to tidy her hair——Natalie, who is now sitting on the queen's throne. "You tell me... is it Ariel Garcia, the woman who is highly valued by my husband and is also the mistress of our Bilan family... the king who designed your child, my favorite husband?"

Natalie's voice trembled a little. It was obvious that she was forcibly suppressing her emotions so that she would not become less emotional.

But even so, when she said these words again, her body still trembled uncontrollably, and there was even a feeling that her whole body would fall down immediately if it was not supported by the back of the chair.

Such a posture made the maids standing on both sides look a little frightened, especially the maid holding the little prince Whirlpool Bilan was trembling with fear.

Below, the courtiers said nothing.

Instead, the Great Elder of the Magic Association knelt directly in front of the queen, kowtowing in grief——

"I'm sorry...His Royal Highness! The old minister is really...really incompetent...!"

The corner of Natalie's mouth twitched, and even gave a sneer——

"Incompetence? Your incompetence, the king of a country, died in that kind of place? My husband... the pillar of the country... my child's father, just like that... died in that kind of ghost place? Now , you tell me...you are just incompetent...such a simple thing?"

The great elder didn't show any fear because of Natalie's voice, but said more sadly: "Your Highness, it's really...it's really that witch who used the strange enchantment magic! She actually...she Her Highness the Eldest Princess was actually allowed to rebel along with her! This assassination was initiated by the Eldest Princess! It was she who took advantage of His Majesty's surprise and wounded His Majesty first, which made His Majesty... so... woo woo woo ……woo woo woo woo……"

After hearing this sentence, Natalie's face changed immediately!She raised her hand, slapped the armrest heavily, and shouted——

"Are you kidding me?! Sweet wine cheese is my husband's most beloved sister. He loves her even more than his own son! And sweet wine cheese also respects her brother very much. How could a family who love each other be so close to each other? attack?!"

Accompanied by Natalie's anger, the courtiers below immediately knelt down.

At this moment, other high priests of the Holy See of Light also took this opportunity to say: "Your Highness, people will change. Princess Tianjiujia has always been with the son of the rebels, and since the last mission Since the Murderous Seat Empire, it has been more than a year to act together with the rebels. Even without the use of charm magic, such a long time is enough for the rebels to subtly corrupt the eldest princess."

"Regardless of whether the eldest princess has been charmed or not, the fact that she is able to attack His Majesty means that she is no different from betrayal."



One thousand 490 five chapters of the royal family

Looking at the large group of courtiers kneeling below, Natalie suddenly felt like laughing out loud.

What a ridiculous scene this is?

These ministers... these ministers whose husbands have complained countless times in private, who only think about themselves and not for the country all day long, now all agree in groups that they are the sisters who respect their brothers most and assassinate them. The brother who loves his sister the most?

Is there any more ridiculous and absurd fact in this world than this?No matter how you think about it, it's impossible, right?

However, such a ridiculous thing actually appeared in front of his eyes now?Hehe, how can this make people not want to laugh?How can it not make people feel that this world is like a big joke?

"His Royal Highness, I believe that some of His Majesty's personal guards were also involved in this betrayal. After all, those personal guards all defected and sided with the rebels at the last moment. There are countless people who can bear witness to this. .”

"Therefore, my subordinates suggest that the Royal Guards be disbanded temporarily, and then reorganized after some rectification. At the same time, it is also necessary to screen the leaders of the Royal Guards. While finding the traitors among them, we must also ensure that the next One Royal Guard does not turn into another traitor."

The person who said these words really surprised Natalie.

That was not from the Holy See, let alone from the Magic Association, but from the mouth of the Duke of Jinguo.

The man with the highest title in the entire Blue Bay Empire made Natalie's scalp tingle suddenly with his words.

A vague sense of unease began to spread in the queen's heart.

At that moment, something suddenly occurred to her that she thought she would never think of again.

She thought of the time when she worked as a maid in the Duke's house, and the time when she had to sneak into the small garden and cry to the plants after being wronged.

She thought of the disdainful looks she had received when she was a maid.At the same time, he thought of the younger sister who was also a maid like himself, but now stood in the position of "rebel" with an awe-inspiring attitude!

That sister... Ariel Garcia!Natalie knew that she should hate this maid who climbed up from a slave... She should be a slave!She was abandoned by her parents since she was a child. If she was not lucky enough to be thrown in front of the Duke's Mansion, she would have been frozen to death in that winter more than ten years ago, just like countless children who were also frozen to death. The little corpse no one cares about!

Yes, she is just a little slave, and she shouldn't have much influence on the current situation at all.But now, she has killed her husband... At the same time, it is also for this man to finally get rid of the life of a maid who made her feel extremely humiliated and painful. slave!

Natalie felt that she should hate her, hate her very, very much.It is even right to hate her, and it is the source of being able to deal with the next things from the most righteous perspective.

But now, she suddenly felt that such things as hatred were not worth much.

It was something that ordinary people would have, and it was something that only I, as a maid, could spend as I wished.

But now, what she needs is not pure emotional hatred, but the best choice is to take hatred as the appearance and grasp everything she has now as much as possible!

"The matter of the guards is not important... the matter of selecting personnel is not important either!"

When she made it clear what she wanted, hatred finally appeared on Natalie's face.However, it was the surface emotion that she voluntarily surfaced——

"That damned woman, she killed my husband and also the father of Belan Fourteenth! That woman must pay the price in blood!"

Natalie patted the back of the chair again, waved her hand, and said——

"But! A country cannot live without an emperor! Even if the new emperor has just passed away, we must maintain the legitimacy of the Bilan royal family and protect the glory of the entire Blue Bay Empire! Therefore, we should first prepare for the enthronement of the new emperor. ceremony."

As she spoke, she stood up from the queen's seat, walked towards the maid next to her, and snatched the two-year-old Uzumaki Bilan from the maid's arms.Maybe it was because her snatching movements were a bit blunt, it didn't feel like she was holding her own child, but rather like holding some kind of gold brick that could bless her for the rest of her life, she shouted loudly——

"Whirlpool Bilan is young, but there is no doubt that he is the legitimate heir to the throne of the Blue Bay Empire! We should first confirm that he is the next emperor, and then we will go out in the name of Bilan XIV to let the new emperor Put on the slogan of avenging your father, attack the border provinces openly, and crush that hateful rebellious province!"

The throne - this seems to be an eternal theme in an empire.

After hearing Natalie's slogan, these ministers all fell into deep thought amidst the cries of the new emperor who was about to take the throne—Whirlpool Bilan.

The Blue Bay Empire is now on the verge of collapse. After the death of such a forceful emperor as Meng Lang, the rebellions in various places will surely become more and more serious.

Even the Negative Hunting Seat Empire, after hearing the news of Meng Lang's death, will they take this opportunity to tear up the agreement and attack?This is definitely a problem.

Under such circumstances, is it good or bad for such a two-year-old emperor to ascend the throne?

This question lingered in the minds of these ministers.

However, apart from such questions, there are still many people who have started to have other ideas in their minds.And these thoughts also made the already gloomy meeting hall even more depressing.

However, the courtiers present did not show any obvious objection intentions.

It just means that the enthronement ceremony needs some preparations.Therefore, the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor Bilan XIV is tentatively scheduled for three days later.

And it is impossible for Natalie to force her son to be placed on the emperor's seat at this time, and hastily announce his enthronement.Therefore, he had no choice but to give up and agreed to the enthronement ceremony three days later.
